Never have I ever felt more disrespected for my time from an anime than this.
Oreshura is a decent harem romcom until you're on episode 13 and you realize there hasn't been a lick of proper development. The opening/exposition is straightforward and a good-enough setup that can actually hook you in. Eita has seen what love can do to people, so he wonders why everyone is so open with it. But then the story doesn't capitalize on this nearly enough to keep it relevant to his character. He grows towards love and falls in love the same way any other romcom protagonist does; exposure.
Each of the main heroines has their own mini-arc where you get a bit more on their character and backstory, but none of this actually means anything if the winner is clear from the beginning. The story tries to s…

I swear, this anime is really bad in terms of story, plus Eita's character is annoying. I mean, if he doesn't like romance, he shouldn't have said "I'm anti-love" to his friend, but after someone confessed his feelings, he accepted it, which gives the impression of a cheap guy who is not marketable 😹, whoever the writer is I want to say you should write eita's character with real actions not just words.
In terms of art style, I found it a bit odd, perhaps? I wasn't a fan of the color palette, but the animation was still okay. Honestly, this is a typical throwaway, forgettable anime, and I don't think there's anything particularly unique about it.
This story actually has potential if executed correctly. I don't know who to criticize about this, the anime or the manga itself (but I have…

The vast majority if this show is a decent harem anime, and most viewers that enjoy harem anime will probably enjoy the first 10-12 episodes of this series fairly well. It has some very good comedy, and has many references that anime fans in general will enjoy. As long as the blackmail plot line is bot a deal breaker, then this is a rather fun harem rom-com.
That being said, those who put a lot of value into satisfying endings will probably not enjoy this show. Without going into detail, the central conflict has a very unsatisfactory resolution that will probably make a lot of viewers uncomfortable, especially if they were already bothered by the blackmail plot line. On top of that, the final episode ends very abruptly in what feels like the middle of a scene. When the final credits appea…

I'm going to recommend this one, but only just. My issues are not serious enough to claim I have mixed feelings over it. It is a harmless run of the mill harem show and it does what it says on the tin. What I like about it is the way Natsukawa keeps dipping into Eita's notebook and his unending embarrassment as she reads from it. (I'm a simple man)...
I'm not a fan of the art style. I think Natsukawa in particular doesn't look very human and as such it distracts me. If you told me she was actually a mermaid for example, I'd believe that. This flaw also makes her far less emotive than other characters, which detracts from the story. Is she meant to be a cold fish? The overarching story is not very good, but it makes up for it with the details and emotions of individual scenes. Plus we also…

I went in expecting a light-hearted rom-com, but what I got was a messy, frustrating watch that left me feeling meh.
First off, the whole premise of Eita and Masuzu's "relationship" felt forced and fake from the start. I mean, come on, Masuzu basically strong-armed Eita into a fake relationship just because she was tired of being approached by guys all the time due to her looks. Like, I get it, that can be annoying, but did she have to drag Eita into it? And Eita, being the nice guy he is, got pulled into it without much say in the matter.
And don't even get me started on how Masuzu treated Eita for most of the series. I mean, I get it, she was trying to keep up the act, but still, she was pretty harsh on him at times. It felt like she didn't even consider his feelings until way later.…

Oh come on...
---Story---
'Ore no Kanojo to Osananajimi ga Shuraba Sugiru' (Oreshura for short) is a romantic comedy harem anime about a small club formed to help female students become popular. This club, however, slowly shifts into a group of female students who want to date Eita, our main character.
---Art---
The art is very bright and cheerful. The animation is pleasant to watch and there was never anything I would classify as poor quality.
---Character---
Easily the best part of the series, and no doubt why you'll keep watching more. No character feels two-dimensional (ironic), and it's a blast watching them interact with Eita and with eachother throughout the series; by the end, you won't know which girl to root for.
---Enjoyment---
The show was fun and cute, however the few dram…

Oreshura genuinely surprised me. I can only summarize Oreshura as "a roller coaster of emotions"... for all the wrong and right reasons. The anime lacked originality in its plot and development compared to other rom-com/harem anime out there. Even still, the anime was very light-hearted and enjoyable to watch at times.
I don't think Oreshura is for everyone, but I don't want to discourage people from experiencing it. For the avid anime enthusiast looking to be analytical and be engrossed in an interesting and exciting plot, I wouldn't recommend Oreshura to you. For those looking for a chill, light-hearted, and overall energetic anime, I think Oreshura would be an amazing title for you.
Overall Score: 7.2
Sound (9) - The musical elements implemented in Oreshura were top notch. Light-hear…

Oreshura was, in fact, a trashy rom-com. The characters were mostly underdeveloped and inconsistent, the plot was practically non-existent, and much of it was cringe-worthy (especially in the first couple of episodes). However, I ended up enjoying it. Yeah, Fuyuumi Ai and Hime were terrible characters and existed mostly for gags that sometimes were bad and were a bit repetitive, the interactions between Eita, Natsukawa, and Chiwa were well done (for the most part). Especially in the last few episodes, the three have a decently well-developed relationship with some complexity that feels like it develops over time. There are also like 10 references to other anime in every episode which sometimes makes it better. All the characters have chuunibyou qualities, and the references help build that…

Man I hope there's a season two, I wanna see Kaori Asoi in the show.
Not my usual type of review, I just want a season two because of the above reason, if you want my honest opinion apart from that, it's a run of the mill high school romance harem show. None of the characters are especially interesting or unique, due to all the trickery there's an excess of cringe comedy in this show, which is really bad for someone like me who suffers heavily from vicarious embarrassment, but otherwise it's pretty run of the mill "trying not to deal with a bunch of girls who like you and are always around you" kind of ordeal. It's not especially bad, hence the good rating, but it's not like it's unique or had enough of an effect on me for me to spend too long on this review.
If a sequel comes out with…

Started watching without any expectations, but a simple harem anime, but oh boy was I mistaken(partly).
While yes I did enjoy the story quite a bit, I felt that it was lacking. There were times when I couldn't watch it due to the fact that I was just at a loss, and vice versa. Yes, I admit, I am a little biased towards cute wholesome slice of life anime, and this does kind of fit that criteria. It could have been better, not saying that this anime is bad, it's just lacking.
One main issue that I have to pick at is that there is no resolution, everyone loves a happy and good ending, and I understand that some animes are to promote the manga. And this is no different, I just wished there was some conclusion in this, at times I was rooting for this particular girl, and then the very next s…

This show is quite bad it's actually very enjoyable. It has mild emotional scenes here and there, but it's worth mentioning some parts can easily be "too cute" to "too dark" if you understand the underlying meaning in them. Some scenes are so humiliatingly funny, I had to pause a few seconds.
Overall, what I like the most about this anime is its awareness of what it wants to portray and is not afraid to go full throttle to create the scenes of it. If it wants to show heroic moments, it won't hesitate to show something as humiliating and violent in the most realistic way possible.
Lastly, I love that the entire season gave a conclusive yet vague ending to the MC's harem. Despite everything, I was Team Masuzu since episode 1, since appearance undeniably matters. However, I found her incred…

I looked at the cover, looked at the tags and saw "Harem" I said to myself "Must be shit" but my good samaritan side and of course my slightly sleeping 14 year old soul that woke up after seeing one of the characters' breasts The cover made me think "Wow, maybe it's not so bad"... my friends, just like when I was 14... I WAS WRONG
Plot:
Until episode 4 it goes, but after that, I wasted my time, it was one sadness after another, another's shame for a dick and of course like a Harem anime and romance, they were adding other "waifus" one more generic than the other , as well as annoying, the script just like any harem anime, wastes your time with the Waifus that OBVIOUSLY won't be chosen at all, it's dull, repetitive and countless times DUMB.
Characters:
Since it's a harem…

It is a good watch, fairly good anime. I have nothing to complain about, love the route they ended up choosing at the end of the season and everything EXCCEEEEPPTTTTT..... one of the characters is UNBEARABLE. Hime never ceased to give me second-hand embarrassment. Every single time she had screen time I honestly wanted to skip until she wasn't. Is the Hime hate uncalled for? Maybe, but man I barely made it through this anime because of her. The other characters are really good, another thing I could say is that I wish they could give a bit more background story for Masuzu. They told us a little about her dad and her family obviously including her sister, but for whatever reason, I was left feeling like something was missing in that portion.

To be honest, This anime is pretty good not gonna lie. But due to the studio editing problems and didn't know if they missed the source material or what made this anime bad as most reviewers said. I won't spoil this anime in this review, but you will see the scene just cut right into the opening while the characters are having a conversation.
For the character design. Not gonna lie, it does look unique compare to other harem animes.
The majority problem is that scene cutting (anime editing) is not good. But still a good anime, so you guys should check it out.

We all have biases, so I came into this anime wanting to fill the void after I had just watched another harem rom-com, OreSuki, and the timing couldn't have been better, since the ringtone for the MC in OreSuki is quite likely a reference to this anime. But OreSuki is a parody of the harem rom-com genre, while OreShura, being published five years earlier, is definitely in the generic class through-and-through. So it was a bit nice to go back in time in that respect.
But what I really enjoyed about this anime was that I could almost "see" the author in the work. I almost want to say that it is peak wish fulfillment, as I feel like he has spread out different parts of his personality among the MC and the girls and developed them around some of those traits. For instance, he really lets his…

I don't write too many reviews because I mainly think that going into a new anime completely blind is the best way to do it (and also that no one is going to ever read this, so why bother?). This review will contain spoilers, so if you're watching it or haven't decided yet, proceed with caution.
OreShura starts off with an interesting premise, with the whole blackmail thing and "I used to roleplay because I'm a loser" whatever, but it quickly turns into a boring, predictable and frankly saddening display of a guy who kind of sucks at making reasonable decisions and has no charm whatsoever.
Once Ai's character is introduced, that's when I believe the show took a turn for the better. Ai Fuyuumi is, in my humble opinion, the best girl in the show. As the episodes with her develop, so does g…

The idea of the story was good and the first 3 episodes were great, Eita was a good character he didn't believe in love and he just wanted to study so he can pursue his dreams. he got blackmailed into a relationship with masuzu, a beautiful girl who also doesn't believe in love.
I like harem but it just didn't work for this anime, it would've been much better if the story focused on Eita and Masuzu imo.
3 other girls like eita, his annoying neighbor, his self proclaimed ex, and his childhood friend who he doesn't remember they are all pretty much retarded and don't have any common sense or logic
ever since these girls were introduced, Eita stopped thinking and his character completely changed, he went from being someone who's '"anti-romance" to 4 girls love slave.
It's pretty obvious…

Its a basic harem story where the protagonist has a lot of girls around him and giving him hints that they like him or just full on confessing, but even though the story and characters were like the other harem stories. This one was just enjoyable to watch, the characters are likeable and overall its a good anime. I rate it a 7 because its like a normal harem story.
I don't think it was that bad overall and I wouldn't mind watching a season 2. I'll say that I recommend watching it if your just looking for some comedy, and some romance (Even though I'm not a big fan of romance).

This Will be a very short, no spoiler review.
This is the pinnacle of a harem rom-com. We've reached the peak everyone, you can go home.
No but really, this rom-com harem is what every other rom-com harem is trying to be. Now it's not that good of a show, but it does exactly what it sets out to do, and it does it well. OreShura came in, gave us what we wanted, and didn't overstay it's welcome. It's very tongue-in-cheek, and at moments it had me laughing out loud. I definitely recommend to watch this show, even if you don't like harem, or rom-com.
Story(5): The story is kinda bland, and it's mainly just an excuse for the shenanigans that Kidou and his harem do.
Art(10): I'm not an artist, but the animation and art is very easy on the eyes, and perfectly fits the tone of the show.
